Statement from the Tigard-Tualatin School District Board of Directors http://flashalertportland.net Tigard-Tualatin Sch. Dist. - 09/28/23 5:26 PM The Tigard-Tualatin School District (TTSD) Board of Directors prioritizes the protection of our learning environments with a lens firmly on safety. We do not condone acts of violence, threats of violence, hate and bias actions, harassment and bullying. Every student in our system has the right to equitable educational opportunities and a school experience that is validating, empowering, and just. We condemn any act that compromises this pledge to our students. TTSD has Board policies in place that set expectations and state practices regarding student safety and violence in our schools. These policies govern how our district operates and our collective commitment to our students, families, and staff. An incident of violence against a student at Hazelbrook Middle School last week was recorded by students and has since been shared broadly on social media. This traumatic act was swiftly investigated by school administrators and turned over to law enforcement. The situation is now considered a criminal investigation. It is important for the community to understand that all the individuals involved are minors including the victim, the originator of the assault, and the students recording and sharing this violent act. As minors, there are laws in place that protect their privacy. As this is a criminal investigation involving minors, no details will be provided to the public. Students and adults contributed to the sharing of this recording that exposed minors who were directly and indirectly involved without consent. In addition, the sharing of this incident has spread across the country and beyond, inspiring false information and a focus and discourse on sexual identity. These acts have contributed to the trauma individuals and families are already experiencing. The TTSD Board of Directors stands firm in our practice of holding those who commit acts of violence accountable as guided by Board policy. We are also united in upholding an educational environment that fosters inclusivity, diversity, and respect. We will not be distracted from our responsibilities of governing this vibrant school system by any form of harassment or bias. We continue to welcome our families and community to join us in this work.
